I have a panel error I would like some experts to examine. Bascially it behaves correctly in IE, however in firefox/netscape I recieve incorrectness. I do have 2 images of the problem I would like to attach to this post, but I cannot seem to find an attachment feature. Please tell how I can post my screen caps to aid in analysis. Or if you don't nee pic, just go to
link here

and examine that page in IE first to see how it should be, and then open the same in Firefox, and you will see that the left panel grossly over-extends. You can see this by going to the home page, and even in firefox/netscape the panel displays correctly on homepage, but the minute your'e in firefox/netscape and go to a shopping page, you get panel extension. Should should easily be able to see what I mean without pics, but I can provided if need and told how to.. thankyou

They look the same to me. I tried one link, and there is no change. It fits just right with my screen resolution of 1024x.

I don't know how to, but I asked someone else to read the thread. Have a bit of patience, considering the time difference, and the fact that it is the weekend. Please give screen resolution.

Simply take a screenshot (on Windows, press Print Screen (usually labelled PrtScr or similiar), then paste it to any graphic application.

Next, save it to either JPEG (.jpg) or PNG (.png) format.

We prefer you resize it to no wider than 550 pixels.

Next upload the screenshot to as server (either yours or third party's for example http://imageshack.us/ ) and post a link of the image.


(if you resized the screenshot to no wider than 550 pixels, you can use inline image link (e.g. [img].....[/img])

The problem seems to be the search box issue. Just limit the table (of the quick search form) to 200 pixels wide instead of 100% should do the trick.

In your code,

Code: Select all

<!-- start searchbox //-->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td height="14" class="infoBoxHeading"><img src="images/infobox/corner_right_left.gif" border="0" alt="" width="11" height="14"></td>
    <td width="100%" height="14" class="infoBoxHeading">Quick Find</td>
    <td height="14" class="infoBoxHeading" nowrap><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="11" height="14"></td>
  </tr>

</table>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" class="infoBox">
  <tr>
    <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" class="infoBoxContents">
  <tr>
    <td><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="100%" height="1"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="center" class="boxText"><form name="quick_find" action="http://www.highend-electronicsupershop.net/advanced_search_result.php" method="get"><input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: 95px">&nbsp;<input type="hidden" name="osCsid" value="436d14e842c7f0e5ea7bafc8343eb5dc"><input type="image" src="includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_quick_find.gif" border="0" alt="Quick Find" title=" Quick Find "><br>Use keywords to find the product you are looking for.<br><a href="http://www.highend-electronicsupershop.net/advanced_search.php?osCsid=436d14e842c7f0e5ea7bafc8343eb5dc"><b>Advanced Search</b></a></form></td>

  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="100%" height="1"></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- end searchbox //-->

Change the second [tt]<table>[/tt] to specify [tt]width="200"[/tt] should do the trick.

e.g.

Code: Select all

</table>
<table border="0" width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" class="infoBox">
  <tr>
    <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" class="infoBoxContents">

Of course you can also change the first [tt]<table>[/tt]'s width to 200 pixels as well.

hey, thanks a million! Can you tell me where you found that code at, as I have looked, but cannot seem to locate it!

Well, because I don't have the actual source code, and it's generated by the server. (session ID, [tt]436d14e842c7f0e5ea7bafc8343eb5dc[/tt], at least).

I guess you were using one of the shopping cart software, and it's generated on-the-fly by the server.

If that was the case, try searching for [tt]<!-- start searchbox //-->[/tt], then found the second [tt]<table>[/tt] after that, and change the [tt]width[/tt] to [tt]width="200"[/tt].

I tried the find and replace for the term start searchbox, and was stunned to recieve no results returned on any pages. very strange considering that snippet of code is directly visible from the view source of the page like u posted avove. my web host had no luck finding it either. I can find a similiar page called search, and another .php called advanced search, but they appear to be different from the code in question from above. Even people at the oscom forums, which is the type of template that is, don't have a clue. I figured I'd ask u agin because u seem to be the smartest guy around on this stuff!

Can you post the original source code (template) of the section containing [tt]<!-- start searchbox //-->[/tt]?

Please surround the source code by [code] and [/code] when posting here to make it easier to read.

here is a screencap at
http://highend-electronicsupershop.net/ ... to_fix.jpg
thats the problem, I can't frind it in any of the pages
earlier u said is was manufactured on-the-fly...
so, with that being the case I don't know what to give you, I just know it
is viewable on sorce view of pages , but the code is no where to be found. not on template
page, not anywhere else after looking for quite some time. I could give link to .zip file containing the template in it orginal state, before I added a bunck of junk, but other than that, I don't have a clue. someone suggested "forcing the left panel table to stay at 200px, but as I am not adept hith html, I had little success.

Again to see the problem live, simply goto
http://www.highend-electronicsupershop. ... 1e7452fa6f

for example using netscape or firfox, and you'll see the left table extend way out, just click the home button, to see it correctly render the table. I just need the table to look the way it does on homepage, accross all other pages as well, and they seem to do, all except for any cart pages, they only do this error, and only in firefox and netscape, IE does not make any error of this siutation. thanks for you aid!

never mind my man, got the answer! really tedious to solve, but its right now. This is what was done for anyone who cares!

You can change the box width by editing the below line in the catalog/includes/classes/boxes.php file:
(line 15)
var $table_width = '100%';


And you also need to edit this line of the same file:

array('params' => 'width="100%" height="14" class="infoBoxHeading"',
